WARPIGf-REEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 609,667, dated August 23, 1898.

Application ned October 22, 1897.

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN EDMUND EAST-A WOOD, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Rockville, in the county of Tolland and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Warping-Reels, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a machine embodying the novel parts of said improvement. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same machine Which is shown in Fig. l. v Fig. 3 is a detail plan view, on an enlarged scale, of the feed-worm and appurtenant pinion. Fig. 4.- is a side view of the parts shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a detail top View of parts having to do with the adjustment of the machine for building Warp-sections of different Widths. Fig. 6 is a detail View showing, as in a side Viewr thereof, one of the parts shown in Fig. 5.

The object of the invention is the production of a machine for building Warp-sections subsequently used, after transference to a Warp-beam, in a Weaving-loom.

In the accompanying drawings the letter d denotes the frame ofthe machine in general.

The letterb denotes the shaft of the rotary Warp-reel.

o denotes the ends of the Warp-reel, and d denotes the reel-bars, the rotary motion of the Warp-reel being given by the belt e and common intermediate means.

The reel-shaft carries xedly thereon the bevel-gear f, meshing into a bevel-pinion g, borne iXedly on the shaft 7L, carrying the worm fi, meshing into gear k, borne xedly on the shaft Z, by means of which train of parts the rotary motion of the Warp-reel is communicated to the feed-Worm Z.

The letter m denotes a part in shape and construction like a pinion, Wherefore it Will be called a pinion herein. It is fast upon the circular pinion base n, which stands Within and is surrounded by a clamp o. This clamp o, through the medium of diametri@- ally Opposite trunnions 19, rests in the journals r, rising from a plate fast on the door or other support, whereby it is given some latitude of rocking motion in a vertical plane in Serial llo.l 656.073. (No model.)

order to prevent binding between the WormZ and pinionmt, and, if desired, a third trun- Anion p' and journal r may be located at one side of and quartering to the two trunnions and bearings p r to prevent and limit the 5 5 rocking of the pinion and clamp in that direction. The clamp o may be made to tightly grasp the pinion-base and hold it and the apmove the entire machine longitudinally in the direction indicated by the arrow overlying the feed-Worm, the machine being mounted upon the rails t, through the medium of the 7o rollers u, for that particular purpose.

The letter 'u denotes Warp-attachment pins fast in and projecting from one of the reelbars.

The Warp as it comes to the machine to be there builded intowarp-sections consists of many threads and assembled into a ribbonlike arrangement which may Well be called a Warp-ribbon. At the beginning of the Warpbuilding operation one of these Warp-ribbons 8o is attached by a Wel1-known method to that one of the Warp-attachment pins v Which is nearest the right end of the machine. Then the Warp-reel is given rotation and synchronously the hereinbefore-described longitudinal feeding motion. This Winds the warpribbon upon the reel to the desired height, at which point the rotation of the reel is stopped. The incoming Warp is severed and the building of that particular Warp-section is finished, 9o its free end being secured in a well-known method. The cross-section shape of awarpsection thus builded is indicated at w, Fig. l, the reel-bars being shaped at one placeto initiate this form of. building the warpsection, a form that may be said to have oblique edges.

After the building of one warp-section in the, W

manner already described` the machine 'is moved on the rails t until the second Warpattachment pin is in front of the path of the zoo warp-ribbon, which is then attached to the second warp-attachment pin and the second warp-section is builded in the same manner as the first. Afterward the subsequent warpsections are builded one by one until thereelbars are lled. When that is done, the warpsections are ready for transference to a warpbeam.

The means for the longitudinal feed of the machine while a warp-section is being builded have already been described. The resetting of the machine longitudinally upon the rails l t for the building of the next warp-section is made possible by releasing the grasp of the clamp o upon the pinion-basen, thus allowing the pinion m to freely turn when the machine is thus reset. After the machine is thus reset the clasp 0 is again made to grasp the pinion-base, so that the rotation of the feedworm will give the longitudinal feeding motion of the machine necessary for the building of another warp-section.

Now to describe the parts which have more immediately to do with the adjustment of the machine for building warp-sections of different widths the letter denotes a bar running from end frame to end frame of the machine and moved therewith. It carries adj ustably clamped thereon the arm y, which in turn carries adjustably clamped therein the rod z, standing parallel with the bar.

The letter a' denotes a bar suitably supported from the floor, so as to be stationary, and carrying an adjustable stop-sleeve b.

The letter c denotes a pawl-arm loose both rotarily and longitudinally on the bar a. Its outer end carries an adj usting-screw d,stand ing parallel with the bar a and with a countersink in its head. One end of the rod z bears a counterpoint fitted for engagement with said countersink.

When the building of a warp-section is to begin, the rod z, pawl-arm c', and stop-sleeve b are in the position shown in Fig. l, the pawl-arm being supported in the position 'there shown (as well as in Figs. 5 and 6) by the engagement of said counterpoint and said countersink. When those two parts are disengaged by the longitudinal feed motion of the machine, and hence the movement of the bar a; and rod d to the left in Fig. 5, the pawlarm drops down, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 6, so as to be out of the path of the rod z in the resetting of the machine for the beginning of the building of another warpsection. In such resetting of the machine it is moved to the right until the arm y strikes the hub of the pawl-arm c'. Then at that point the machine is held stationary, while stopsleeve b and pawl-arm c are moved to the right, reset on bar a', and again engaged with the counterpoint end of rod z, as represented in Figs. l and 5. Now stop-sleeve b being fastened to bar a' and the warp-ribbon being attached to the warp-attachmentpin in front of it the building of another warp-section is ready to begin.
